Designer Notes has become one of my favorite podcasts, and the George Fan episode is one that I particularly enjoyed. Soren and George had some good laughs, and I figured I could bash together a game out of it.

Since I was crunched for time (and energy), I relied heavily on the Unity Asset store, and other free/affordable resources. This was my first jam to really do this outside of sounds, and I definitely couldn't have made a project even this simple without them.

Thanks to all in the Idle Thumbs and Wizard Jam communities for holding this jam and supporting each other. Can't wait to play your games!

P.S. If George Fan is reading this, I realize this probably seems weird. I apologize for that, but I assure you I just thought this would be a fun jam game to make and play. Also, listening to bits of this episode again made me download Plants vs. Zombies (the first one) again and I am more into it than any mobile game I've been into for years. Can't wait to see what you come out with next!

The long walk is a good buildup to the one joke at the end . I think, given that most people would probably not play the game more than once, it might be better to place the 'game ideas' folder directly in the player's path.

Glad you guys liked it! I enjoyed your video, Kevin. I did add in that fail-safe mechanism to keep GAME IDEAS from interfering with the other part because this is the Idle Thumbs community and we all love to do ridiculous things with game systems. I enjoyed thing singing in the video, too.
